Today's following article on Seeking Alpha (and other websights) websight suggests that PUMA will dump like an anvil in the an ocean!

Summary

Based in part on data from a legacy Phase II study run by Wyeth in Herceptin pre-treated and naive patients, Neratinib unlikely to see approval in adjuvant HER2+ breast cancer.
~80% and 100% of Herceptin failures, including adjuvant stage patients, had progressed on Neratinib at 48 weeks and 96 weeks, raising doubts on Neratinib's efficacy over the long term.
FDA unlikely to approve Neratinib on 2 years follow-up data. NDA filing will more than likely require 5-8 years of follow-up.
In a 5-8 years follow-up of Neratinib in adjuvant disease, difference in disease-free survival between patients on Neratinib and patients on placebo unlikely to be statistically significant.
Updating Price Target to $49.22/share to account for greater uncertainty associated with adjuvant Neratinib and to incorporate multiple expansion due to rally in biotech stocks. Reiterate Sell Rating.
